Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 611
"Sir, do you still think that the king of Silla died not from a curse, but from homicide?" Li Yu asked.

Li Canghai pondered and said: "I never believed that there is such a thing as a curse to kill people in this world. If a curse can really kill people, as long as you cast a curse on the Dongying army, the Dongying army would have died long ago. Why do you still use such a big fight?"

Li Yu rubbed his chin, nodded and said, "That makes sense! If the Golden Toad Sword can really curse and kill people, why do we travel all the way here? But how do you know that the murderer is someone familiar to the King of Silla?"

Li Canghai glanced at him, and said deeply: "My lord, if someone you don't know suddenly walks outside, will you let him approach you?"

"Of course not! How do I know if he is a good guy or a bad guy? If he has ulterior motives and wants to insult me, what should I do?" Li Yu waved his hand, quite narcissistically.

Hearing this, Li Canghai immediately rolled his eyes.

"That's it. People will be on guard. They will be cautious towards unfamiliar people, but they will be defenseless against familiar people. Wang Ye, look down."

Li Yu hurriedly lowered his head, only to find that the sword finger of Li Canghai's right hand had touched his lower right waist at some point, and he couldn't help being startled.

Li Canghai withdrew his finger and said with a smile: "I used a dagger just now, the prince is already lying in a pool of blood."

"I see! So that's the case!" Li Yu suddenly realized. "But, it doesn't make sense! If it weren't for cursing and killing people, who would have been able to get this Buddha statue from the altar to the door?"

"I already know how to get the Buddha statue off the altar. However, I still have no idea how the Buddha statue was brought to the door." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

Li Yu blinked and said in surprise, "Sir, do you know what's going on? Tell me now!"

"I can't tell right now, there are still many mysteries that have not been solved. For example, why Xitai suddenly went crazy, if this mystery is not solved, everything will return to cursing and killing people." Li Canghai pondered.

"Yes! What's going on here? If it wasn't for being cursed, how could the eldest prince throw such a heavy cauldron into the fire pit? This is really unbelievable!" Li Yu scratched his head and said.

Li Canghai nodded, and said: "Yes, this is indeed the most confusing thing. In fact, this is the most puzzling thing about the whole case. I believe that the eldest prince definitely did not become so powerful because he was cursed. There must be other reasons for this, but I haven't found it yet."

"Sir, what are your plans next?" Li Yu asked.

"The death of King Silla is strange, I must investigate this matter clearly." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

And at this moment, a general defending the city suddenly ran over in a hurry.

He directly knelt down to Li Canghai, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, it's bad! The Japanese army was found five miles outside the city!"

Li Canghai and Li Yu looked at each other, their hearts sank at the same time, the most worrying thing finally happened.

"Immediately issue an order to make everyone take precautions!" Li Canghai said calmly.

After the general took the order, he quickly left.

"My lord, let's also go to the city gate to have a look!" Li Canghai said to Li Yu.

Li Yu nodded, and then asked Qi Yunhe to push Li Canghai, and they rushed to the city gate as quickly as possible.

Above the city gate, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and others had already ordered their crossbowmen to prepare for the battle. When they saw Li Canghai and others coming, they all saluted.

"General Gao, how is the situation?" Li Canghai asked.

"Return to Marshal, the Japanese army is wandering five miles away, we don't know how many of them have come yet." Gao Xianzhi cupped his hands and said.

Li Canghai covered his eyes with his hands, and looked carefully five miles away.

There was indeed a group of Japanese soldiers trekking hard in the snow five miles away.

"Marshal, do you want to send someone to check?" Gao Xianzhi asked.

Li Canghai frowned. After ten consecutive days of heavy snowfall, the snow outside the city was already more than three feet deep. Not to mention horses, even people could hardly walk.

"General, the snow outside the city is so deep, how do we go to check it? What if it's just a Japanese trap?" Li Yu said while rubbing his nose.

"What the prince said is very true, but if we don't know the number of the Dongpu army, we will fall into a passive situation. The army led by General Huangfu is far away on the other side of the mountain range hundreds of miles away. If the Dongpu army takes advantage of this It is an extremely unfavorable situation for us to launch a siege at the right time! The general is willing to lead a team of Qingqi to investigate!" Gao Xianzhi cupped his hands at Li Yu and said solemnly.

"What you said makes sense, but it's too risky after all. Unless you can step on the snow without a trace, if you fall into this snow, you may have no time to escape! Besides, this horse can't run on the snow at all! ?” Li Yu said with a frown.

Hearing Li Yu's words, Li Canghai said casually, "It's not impossible to run on the snow. General Gao, go and get some wooden planks. You have to lift one end up and tie it to your feet, and then use two Supported by bamboo poles, you can walk freely on the snow.”

"Yes! The general will do it!" Gao Xianzhi said to Li Canghai without any doubt, and immediately went to find a craftsman to make more than ten pairs in the shortest time as he said.

"Sir, can you walk freely on the snow by stepping on this thing?" Li Yu seemed a little unconvinced.

At this time, a guard had already tied the two planks.

Li Canghai said indifferently: "Whether you can come and go freely, you will know after trying it."

After the guard was tied up, he jumped off the city wall.

The guard jumped off the seven or eight zhang high city wall, and everyone gasped, for fear that the guard would be turned into meat sauce.

However, what surprised everyone was that after the guard fell on the snow, he didn't fall to his death. Instead, he slid directly down the slope of the snow piled up beside the city wall.

"It's really possible? It's amazing! Sir, what is this thing called? It can actually walk on snow?" Li Yu asked excitedly.

"This thing is called a sled, and it's the easiest way to walk when there's snow," Li Canghai said.

Li Yu suddenly realized.

"If every soldier is equipped with this sled, wouldn't they be able to come and go freely on the snow? In this way, the Japanese army can be caught off guard!" Li Yu said excitedly.

"This sled is convenient for walking on snowy ground, but it also has many restrictions. It cannot be used as a war horse." Li Canghai said.

At this time, Gao Xianzhi had already tied up the sled with more than ten people.

"General Gao, as the commander of the army, you should not take risks lightly. Why don't you let Yunhe go for you!" Qi Yunhe stepped forward and said.
